How This Role Makes a Difference

The Product Designer contributes to end-to-end digital experiences that support Care Access participants, members, and the internal teams who serve them. This role translates complex, evolving needs across health screenings, clinical research, participant engagement, recruitment, member services, and operational workflows into clear, accessible, and intuitive product experiences.

Working with the Principal Product Designer and cross-functional partners in product, engineering, research, and relevant business or operational teams, the Product Designer owns assigned design work from problem definition through delivery. Depending on priorities, the work may include participant-facing experiences or internal tools used by recruitment, member services, clinical research coordinators, and other teams that engage and support participants.

Day to day, this mid-level designer moves between discovery, workflow definition, hands-on interface design, prototyping, feedback, and implementation support. The role requires comfort shifting between products as priorities evolve, sharing work early, incorporating feedback, and partnering closely with developers to deliver practical, high-quality solutions.

How You'll Make An Impact

• Day-to-day work may include:

• Exploring multiple concepts;

• Documenting edge cases and interaction states;

• Incorporating stakeholder critique and user feedback;

• Providing developers with clear behaviors, content, and visual details for implementation.

• Apply and contribute to the living design system.

• Typical activities include:

• Selecting appropriate patterns to maintain consistency;

• Documenting new reusable components and interaction guidance;

• Identifying gaps or potential improvements.

• Develop an understanding of and act as a subject matter expert on assigned product areas, user needs, operational workflows, and business goals, then translate findings into design opportunities and clear problem statements.

• Typical activities include:

• Reviewing requirements and available data;

• Mapping current-state journeys to identify friction points;

• Asking clarifying questions to understand the user and business outcomes the design should support.

• Support product discovery and design validation through user interviews, usability sessions, stakeholder conversations, and review of user feedback.

• Responsibilities include:

• Helping prepare research questions and prototypes;

• Observing or facilitating sessions;

• Capturing themes, sharing findings, and translating insights into prioritized design changes.

• Monitor and improve the quality and effectiveness of released product experiences.

• Responsibilities include:

• Partner with product managers, engineers, and operational teams to review user feedback, product data, support trends, and implementation quality;

• Identify usability, accessibility, or workflow issues; recommend prioritized improvements;

• Verify that delivered experiences align with the approved design and intended user outcomes.

• Other duties as assigned
